    1. Download SQLite Browser.
    2. Shut down the server.
    3. Open library.db (always back up first!). Locations vary:
      • /var/lib/jellyfin/data/library.db
      • X:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\data\library.db
      • X:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\jellyfin\data\library.db
    4. Choose the “Browse Data” tab, right under that is the option to choose table type, select “TypedBaseItems”
    5. Enter “MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.CollectionFolder” in the Filter in any column field
    6. Find the entry you want to get rid of. Right-click on the number and select delete record.
    7. Click the “Write Changes” button, then close the database and restart the server.
    Thanks! That's a concise, detailed walkthrough. And it got rid of the ghost library. Found the problem in a third location, the two paths you gave didn't show all the libraries for some reason. Now I'm really curious what else I can do with that tool. I never would have figured that out on my own.

    Still have to go and put everything back in place to see if it fixed the problem with the client displaying the wrong names.
